PatientSafe Solutions
PatientSafe Solutions began as a standalone company focused on clinical communication and workflow software for hospitals. After its acquisition by Stryker, a global medical technology firm, PatientSafe became the foundation of Stryker's SmartHospital Platform, which now combines hardware like Vocera smartbadges and ProCuity beds with software for ambient monitoring and virtual nursing. The SmartHospital Platform targets acute-care facilities with products spanning virtual nursing, patient monitoring, and staff communication. Stryker sells these tools as an integrated ecosystem to optimize resource allocation and patient outcomes. The platform operates across North America and select international markets, with additional products such as the Vocera Collaboration Suite and Vocera Vina for voice-enabled workflows. Stryker does not disclose separate revenue or AUM for the PatientSafe Solutions unit. The broader Stryker medical segment employed over 51,000 people worldwide as of 2024. PatientSafe maintains offices in San Diego and Kenilworth, New Jersey. The platform continues to add features, with Stryker releasing the Vocera Edge and Ease products in recent years. PatientSafe Solutions' structural distinction lies in its role as a software platform embedded within a large medical device company. Rather than operating as an independent startup, it benefits from Stryker's distribution and R&D resources while driving digital transformation in hospital operations.
